gmane might go off-line soon
by Schmitz Thomas A. 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Hi all (especially the gardeners), have you seen this post? https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2016/07/28/the-end-of-gmane/ Long story short: the sole maintainer of gmane is getting fed up with ddos attacks and is thinking about terminating the service. If I’m not mistaken, for the time being, gmane is the only searchable archive of the context mailing list, so this would be a major setback. On the garden, there has been a note for five or six years (I think) that work is being done on archive.contextgarden.net. Maybe the approaching end of gmane would be a good motivation to really do this work? Thomas

lua tables - how do you cope?
by Schmitz Thomas A. 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

This is less a specific question about ConTeXt than a hope for good advice: I’m maltreating my xml files with a mixture of TeX and Lua. I want to extract and typeset information in different forms, so I first collect everything in lua tables, rearrange and order these tables and typeset the results. All fine and dandy. My problem is that I have to have tables within tables within tables… you get the picture. One aspect of Lua that is really bugging me is the fact that associative tables have no order, which can be a pain in the butt for this kind of operation. So I have to be careful that I have to use constructs that will keep the order in which items have been added and loop through them via ipairs() instead of pairs(). I find it difficult to keep track of what’s inside my layers upon layers of tables. So my question is: how do those of you who are more experienced with this kind of question proceed? Do you have any handy tool to visualize a table? Any tips you want to share? Thanks a lot! Thomas

inconsistent math fontsize
by Jan Willem Flamma 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

Dear list members Sofar, I’ve been using \qquad to separate two formulas side-by-side on a single line. To ensure consistency with spacing I want to change to using a \startformulas .. \stopformulas construction. See MWE below However, the solution using the \startformulas .. \stopformulas construction gives a noticeably smaller fontsize ! I’m using the latest beta: ConTeXt ver: 2016.07.25; Luatex 0.95 Worth noting that all both fontsizes are identical when using context live via contextgarden. Kind regards, Jan Willem Flamma MWE: \starttext % Printed in normal fontsize \startformula a=\frac{b}{c} \qquad \qquad \qquad a=\frac{b}{c} \stopformula % Printed in smaller fontsize \startformulas \startformula a=\frac{b}{c} \stopformula \startformula a=\frac{b}{c} \stopformula \stopformulas \stoptext

(perhaps benign) difference in ebgaramond12-regular.tma after upgrade to 2016.07.30 00:26 beta
by Joseph Canedo 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

Hi Hans, Perhaps completely benign, but a bit strange difference I’ve spotted (because I log the ligatures of the font I use). After upgrade to 2016.07.30 00:26 I notice that 1 entry (only one which is a bit strange, because there are other similar entries in the description table which were not changed at all) in descriptions table in ebgaramond12-regular.tma (in tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/fonts/otl/ directory) has changed from [983766]={ ["boundingbox"]=519, ["index"]=2684, ["name"]="ij.sc", ["unicode"]={ 105, 106 }, ["width"]=570, }, To (latest beta) [983766]={ ["boundingbox"]=519, ["index"]=2684, ["name"]="ij.sc", ["unicode"]=307, -- 307 is ij ligature whose unicode = { 105, 106 } ["width"]=570, }, Is this expected at all ? Thanks a lot Best regards Joseph Canedo

Re: [NTG-context] \setupalign (protrusion and expansion) in notes

Setups are the way of doing it. I thought it might be interesting that notes would inherit the setup from the main text. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Use \framedtext to write an algorithm
by Fabrice Couvreur 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

I know that Wolfgang wrote a module to reproduce algorithms, but it is in English ! Can we ensure to respect the withdrawal of the text ? \starttext \framedtext [align={middle,verytolerant, fit,nothyphenated,stretch}, width=0.4\textwidth, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, framecolor=darkred, corner=00,] Variables \math{I} et \math{J} entiers T tableau d'entiers Début Pour \math{I} allant de \math{1} à \math{3} Pour \math{J} allant de \math{1} à \math{3} Si \math{J>I} Alors \math{T[I, J]=J-I} Sinon \math{T[I, J]=0} Fin Si Fin Pour Fin } \stoptext Thanks, Fabrice

\setupalign (protrusion and expansion) in notes
by Pablo Rodriguez 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

Hans, I have the following sample: \definefontfeature [default] [default] [expansion=quality, protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hanging, hz] \starttext \input knuth\footnote{\input knuth} \stoptext Notes don’t inherit by default the \setupalign values. Wouldn’t it make sense that they share the same align values than the main text, unless other values are specified for notes? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

avoiding orphan punctuation signs
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Dear list, in French, it seems to be a typographical convention to add a blank space after or before some punctuation signs. la France ? « guillemot » judicieux : Is there a general command that automatically adds the no-break space (~) where required? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
